Q: Correcting astigmatism with Intralase with Lasik?
A:
The amount of astigmatism that you have currently should not be an issue with the VISX laser as it is now FDA approved for up to 5 diopters of astigmatism. Your surgeon will mark your eye carefully and you should be able to have a good refractive result. With either the intralase laser or PRK the shape of your cornea should not cause an issue.
Most likely they will be doing wavefront measurements and any higher order aberrations will also be fixed during your corrective procedure.
